Right! A bio! I am 17, I have a daughter, and I'm trying to (almost) single-handedly create a Predator modification for Crysis. Sort of hard work, so people, keep throwing ideas my way. Other than that for an "about me", I have AIM, & MSN, so talk to me. I have too much free time.

Release Date - Hell, even I don't know. It obviously wouldn't be until about Q3/Q4 2009

My counter-suggestion for you, if you have a high-end computer, play a well made dense custom level and you'll get a brief idea about Predator's level design layout. Take into consideration in EVERY Alien movie, they were in a space ship or indoor environment of some sort. Aliens could only come from a certain direction. The vents, the hallways, so on, so forth. Everything was pre-made. Take into consideration that Aliens are adaptive creatures. They enjoy heated, moist environments. Perhaps that could be why rain is so frequent, as the Predator enjoys those environments too.

Now, picture this if you can, back to back with one last surviving marine, nearly out of ammunition and nowhere near safety. All you can see is the sun fading in the distant mountain tops, and all you hear is the distant waterfall blending in with the hissing of Xenomorphs. The jungle is so thick that you can barely see the ground beneath your feet, and if one were to strike, they'd be on top of you before you saw anything more than the rustling of the brush.

That... That is fear. Knowing they are there and being unable to do anything.

Adding parts of the Alien Universe is essential. The game is Predator based, but it's a tip of the hat and a subtle clue for Fox that people are craving a new AvP game. And don't worry, we have something that will please both Predator only, and AvP fans alike.

And I suppose I can drop a spoiler that involves the storyline. Take into consideration that this is when the Weyland-Yutani Company is being built and established. They aren't quite yet a global powerhouse with the authority seen in books and movies. Perhaps that's why everything is so... Under the carpet.

Most of the APC's are very bland in color. It's still the baby APC that isn't done. It'll have more of a ugly gray/green tint, and it won't be brand new looking, I assure you.

Also, expect some USMC logos on there.

It's on Veoh because it has a better quality than any other video streamer. If you don't like it, don't complain. We are featured on other modification sights that have their own uploaders and you can see it there, where it's featured OFF of Veoh.

There already is a Predator mod dedicated to the replication of the Predator movie (To my knowledge). Predatormod.co.uk

Ours isn't based on the first Predator movie.

The Predator is quite a bit of time away. In the first release it'll just be a few modifications to enhance the SP experience, playing as the Predator. I'll keep it updated ;)

@ Fugitmdup

Deinonychus was never in the movies, but rather the term Smiley is referencing from "hybrid" is the fact that the raptors in the movies were the size of Deinonychus, which is incorrect. Real veloiciraptors were much smaller, and were portrayed incorrectly in JP.

Correction, their ultimate "prey" is the Xenomorph. All Predators must go on a hunt for the "hard meat" as they call it, for their rite of passage into manhood. It's called "Kainde Amedha Chiva" or "Hard Meat Trial", if I remember correctly.

Indeed. The spelling helped me sound it out, though. "FOXED", got it.

P.S. Narrow minded people like you are indeed what prove anything to be "null", and you don't need permissions for something non-profit as long as you ensure the proper credit and copyright notifications.

High five to you, sir, madame, person of unknown origin. At least Otreum had something credible to say in his arguement.

In other words, you "FAIL."

I get that a lot. The point of this mod is to eventually play as the Predator, and achieve the feel you would get from playing as the infamous hunter. This isn't a remake of any of the movies.

Adding in Xenomorphs would be insanely difficult, because of the fact they all resources of them really only show them indoors. The first few releases & updates from the mod will be mainly outdoor maps, but we will eventually have maps that include deep indoor areas, including caves & bases of Weyland-Yutani.

... And everyone knows where the Xenomorphs are, Weyland-Yutani goes.

Hidden, yup. Played it since the first original alpha release, and still do.
(I have a few names. |SAW| John the Jigsaw Killer, is most notable. I'm usually in Virus's vet house server, or Smokey's.)

A game mode may be similar, but there were many problems with the initial release. The hidden could fly (Constant leaping, before you hit the ground) had infinite HP and grenades (Impulse 101 worked), among other things. I prefer to iron out a lot before I throw out a playable release.

Chances are in the intitial release you'll have quite a bit to toy with, but don't expect a first release until about August or so. I may release maps and custom models for people to make their own kind of "Predator-esque" maps to play on.

I can tell you two game modes are deathmatch and team deathmatch, but, uhm...

"Or hell just make it where marines are pulling out and trying to get to chopper and being hunted." - indec01

That's a game mode, with an added twist.

"I forgot to add, don't forget to incorporate the Predators medical kit! To makeshift heal himself." - indec01

Also, the medicomp is present. When you are damaged badly, you will begin to bleed, and leave a minor trail until you heal. The problem is you are visible and when you heal, you let a very loud, potent roar that will alert anyone to where you were when you healed.

Well then, suggestion noted. People will at least see at least comments and me talking, daily. And they'll get weekly updates on the mod, at least. And if there isn't much, I'll just PM it to you, Otreum. :P

Oh really? Good for you. We've been around a while and were working on an original idea for a dinosaur mod that didn't involve JP. Due to the fact quite a few dino mods were making great progress we shifted to the Predator mod. Quite a few things are already made that I can show off, I'm just simply not going to release tidbits, but rather large updates. Congratulations on showing your lack of knowledge.

It must be rather embarassing to come to your senses, only to find you have none.

I personally am a massive fan of AvP, the game. If not for the Predators, but the Aliens. It was great playing as a Marine in that game walking through the dark abandoned corridors, jumping when you saw that first alien. AvP2 was... Well, that was more Predator based. I still play AvP2 all the time, but you won't find me on any gametype other than Predators & humans only. I spend my time walking around, cloaked, with my combistick. Never use any other weapon.

Anyway, the melee weapons will be the focus of Predator combat, but the speargun, plasmacaster/shoulder cannon, and pistol (AvP:R version) are the planned ranged weapons of the Predators. Each with their own disadvantage. Oh, the netgun will be present, too.

Trust me, melee will be big with the Predator, especially when he drags a screaming Marine off into the jungle's abyss.

There will be single player missions after multi-player content is established. In single-player, you would assume the role of the Predator. Programming the AI and making the Predator... Well, act like the Predator, would be a bit much to do.

The ideas for classes seems to be popular, but I think we may steal an idea from Call of Duty 4, and give the Predator a "create a class" of weapons and abilities to have that they can combine together to fit their style of play best. That way you don't have to worry about the downsides of something you didn't make.

This came to my attention actually, last night. No, that is not our mod, but I can assure that our mod will be entirely different. From what I have read, they are basing their mod off of the movie, due to the quote "relive your favorite moments from the movie". Our mod will blend Predator and Crysis universes together.

Good luck to their mod, though.

So... Only one real suggestion has been made (The "Adding Xenomorphs), and over a hundred people visit this page a day.

Come on, I know all of you have fingers... Or most of you, otherwise you wouldn't view such a place to play video game modifications.

Type up some suggestions! :P I want to know what you're thinking.

Actually, any help at this point and time would be appreciated.

Right now at the moment, we are secluding it only to Predators, humans, and the aliens (squids) from Crysis. The idea of including Xenomorphs is very popular, but if we did do that, it would be in a later beta instead of one of the earlier releases, simply because we'd have to create so many things to accomodate Xenomorphs.

I can simply say, I am intent on putting our resident friendly Xenos in the mod eventually. ;)
